TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a deal to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Saturday.
The Cardinals informed Harrison that he will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions as the trade is completed, sources said.
One team that has had talks with Arizona is Houston, which has been, and is thought to be, squarely in the mix for Harrison, sources told Schefter and Rapoport. If Harrison is traded to the Texans, he would be reunited with his college quarterback C.J. Stroud.
The Indianapolis Colts are not involved in talks for Harrison, a source told ESPN's Stephen Holder. The Cardinals were asking for a second-round choice and more, according to a source, for the son of Marvin Harrison Sr., the Hall of Famer who owns multiple Indianapolis receiving records.
Marvin Harrison Jr. has been the center of trade speculation for weeks as he got off to a slower-than-expected start to the season. He had just one catch in the first two games, fueling chatter that his time in Arizona could be coming to an end this season, short of his rookie contract ending.
